Process Screening
This catalyst screening system is designed for testing syngas and CO₂ conversion reactions using catalyst charges in the range of 500–1,000 mg.
Typical example reactions include Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, methanol synthesis, and the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
The system comprises four individual fixed‑bed reactors, each with its own independent product outlet, and is designed for unattended 24/7 operation.
